During a highway drive during rain, the vehicle lost power and the check engine light started to blink. I was unable to maintain speed or move to the right lane and pull over because of traffic. A large 18 wheeler behind me almost rear-ended my vehicle. I pulled over and inspected the engine, water was able to get into the air box and appears cause the vehicle to enter limp mode. I had a co-worker with the same vehicle have the same probelm during rain storm. Dealer was unable to locted sotred code or find the problem.

I bough a brand new 2019 Honda Accord 2.0T touring from Honda cars of rockwall in tx around mid August and have since been driving the car on a daily basis. At around 12K miles I took the engine cover off to clean in the engine compartment, I ha ve discovered 2 small pools of oil just sitting between the rear side of valve cover and the engine block just directly under the PCV valve port. I have read several online threads that similar owners of the same car and the type R which has the same engine are experiencing the same issue with possibly wrapped head or defective valve cover

Car has gone into limp mode twice. First time was when I had it for 2 weeks. I was driving 65mph and the car just stopped in the highway. I had to get the car off the road to keep from getting hit and caused some undercarriage damage. The car was towed. Honda "fixed" the limp mode issue but refused to accept responsibility for any other damage caused by the car going into limp mode. Last month I was coming home from work at 2:30 am and the car went into limp mode again. The car was towed for a second time to a different Honda dealership where they stated there was no way the first dealership fixed the car. There were metal shavings noted throughout the system, the fuel injector and all of the cylinders had to be replaced. I am concerned about the metal shaving noted in my oil and throughout the system causing further engine damage as time goes on. Honda has also refused to pay for my rental car during this process even though it was a manufacturing issue. Honda customer service on 6/7/19 also stated that if the car goes into limp mode again and I get hit, all additional damage caused from the accident will be my responsibility.

I started to notice months ago, when stopped or idling, my vehicle begins to misfire or the RPM accelerates.took it in the dealership multiple times, they can't seem to diagnose the issue. This is a major safety issue, I have almost hit several pedestrians and other vehicles due to this issue.

We bought a brand new Honda Accord 2019(LX) on June 29, 2019. Not even a month later I.e. on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 7:49 pm my Honda Accord stopped in the middle of the highway due to unknown reason. Behind us was a truck and we were at 70 mph highway, we were about to be hit either by the truck or by the car on the right lane. Thanks to the truck driver and the person driving that SUV who stopped in time. We merely escaped death like situation. Post that I called Honda road side assistance and they asked me to move to a safe location and call them again. I tried to drive the car again and drove couple of miles where my car finally stopped moving and smoke started coming from the exhaust. Scared we quickly evacuated the car and moved to a safe location at 8:23 pm. Post that cops came to ask why we stopped there, we explained them the situation. We were told to stop the engine and wait there till the towing car arrived. I had so much trust in Honda and we are so traumatized with this situation and I still can't believe how this happened. This is a brand new car with total miles of 657 miles. I didn't expect this from a brand-new car. We were lucky enough to escape death on the highway. We were exhausted and terrified with this event. Yesterday Honda service center company called and told that the the turbo charger failed internally, causing oil to go into the exhaust system. This caused contamination of the catalytic converter and damaged the oxygen sensors. I am not sure if I can or anyone can trust Honda ever again. If something would have happened to me or my family will Honda be responsible for this. Question is do you still trust Honda ?

On 30 June 2019, my wife and I were driving back home to va from ok on highway 40 heading West near sallisaw ok. Road was wet and was climbing a hill. I stepped on accelerator to pass while going about 65 mph. The engine stumbled and shuttered, the check engine light came on and car went from approx. 65 mph down to 25 mph. I had to get over to the breakdown lane and drive about 6 miles to next exit at 25 mph. Pulled in at a gas station, open the hood, checked the oil which was good. Took a break, started it back up and did not attempt to pass another vehicle until the next trip to nh. Mileage was approx. 5500. On 23 July 2019, driving back to va from nh on highway 84 heading South near tolland ct. Road was wet, light rain and was climbing a hill. Stepped on accelerator to pass while going about 65 mph.
